Letters to the Editor for March 30, 2011


Fine-tuning Wyden’s forest bill
To the editor:
Editor’s Note: These are comments the letter writer planned to make during a public hearing last week regarding Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden’s Eastside Forest Restoration, Old Growth Protection and Jobs Act, which the senator introduced in late 2009:

The purposes of this bill are admirable, but some additional tuning needs to be done for it to accomplish those purposes.
 

Letters to the Editor for March 9, 2011


How we got into this mess
To the editor:
The way the network news people tell it, it’s a big mystery. The deficit, I mean. And states are broke. Mystery? My gramma’s corset laces! It’s been looming the past 30 years.
 

Letters to the Editor for March 4, 2011


We need jobs, not deep cuts
To the editor:
I hope we’re not too surprised to find that, once again, voter wishes have been transmuted by the Republicans into “mandates” for their long-standing agenda of lowering taxes for the wealthy and slashing support for the poor and the middle class.

Shared sacrifice could help school levy pass
To the editor:
In response to the Feb. 23 editorial on the school budget shortfall, I am writing to say that I heartily agree that the best option is for everyone to participate in providing the best for the students. It is a difficult time for everyone, but we must all do our part to solve the problem. If all personnel, across the board, will agree to a cut in their compensation package, then the tax levy will have a better chance of passing.

Letters to the Editor for Feb. 21, 2011


Paper left out the good Sellier did
To the editor:
The story on Charles “Chuck” Sellier that ran on Feb. 9 appeared to be a patchwork of information from the AP newswire with a few interjections by Jayson Jacoby to ostensibly give the story local relevance.

Letters to the Editor for Feb. 11, 2011


A disgrace to our national anthem
To the editor:
I am writing this letter concerning the presentation of our national anthem at this year’s Super Bowl. In my opinion it was the most disgraceful singing of our anthem I have ever heard.
 

Letters to the Editor for Feb. 7, 2011


Misguided focus on public workers
To the editor:
In response to George Wilder’s letter on Feb. 2. I agree with him on one aspect: spending cuts, not new taxes are the answers to the government debt problem. But I disagree with the rest of his “solution."
 

Letters to the Editor for Feb. 2, 2011


Still hoping for rational debate
To the editor:
Last month, I was impressed by Sen. Bernie Sanders’ lengthy, fact-filled and informative speech opposing extension of the Bush tax cuts. I’ve been hoping that it might inspire a more forthright and rational political debate on our economic situation.
 

Letters to the Editor for Jan. 28, 2011


Praying for healing
To the editor:
Since the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion in the United States, more than 50 million lives have been lost due to abortion. We pray and solicit prayers for those approximately 3,000 helpless people whose lives will be snatched from the womb each day, and we commit them to God’s grace.
